Hublot Classic Fusion Chrono Aero 2013

Hublot is not an exhibitor at SIHH 2013, but it is still presenting several 2013 novelties this week.  For now I will quickly show my favorite of the group, the Classic Fusion Chrono Aero.  It is a very nice looking chronograph.  The “Aero Bang” (openworked dial) has been one of Hublot’s bestsellers since 2007, and now for the first time it is available in the Classic Fusion line.  Hublot revamped the Classic Fusion line several years ago and they are balanced, elegant looking watches, in my view.  This model has a 45mm case, offered in titanium or King Gold (Hublot’s mix contains 5% platinum and a slightly intense red color vs. normal gold), available on matchin metal bracelet or black alligator strap with rubber back.  Counters at 3 o’clock (small second) and 9 o’clock (30-minute) and a date window at 6 o’clock.  More looks below.
